| Canadian Branchline
Miniatures is dedicated to telling the
story of railway operations on the Canadian National Railways (CNR) in Ontario during the
steam to diesel transition era of the 1950s. To date, this story has been told through a
series of hardcover books by author Ian Wilson. Our first eight publications, Steam
at Allandale, To Stratford Under Steam (out
of print), Steam Over Palmerston, Steam Through London, Steam to the
Niagara Frontier, Steam in Northern Ontario,
Steam Scenes of Allandale and Steam
Echoes of Hamilton will be joined by Steam Memories of
Lindsay in March 2010.
Similar volumes on other CNR subjects such as the
Toronto-Montreal mainline, the Oakville Subdivision and more Steam Scenes
editions will follow. The focus of these publications is the CNR locomotives, trains,
operations, history and occupations during the railroad transition era of the 1950s. |

| What the reviewers are saying: It would be difficult to put together a book that better
depicts a particular railroad than this one - it entertains and informs with grace and
style. Take a bow, Mr. Wilson; you deserve it.
JIM BOYD
The best explanation of how such a place worked that
I have ever read.
WILLIAM SCHAUMBURG
I will continue to buy every book Ian Wilson puts
out.
JOHN SWANSON
Ian has set standards that any volume
should try and meet.
PAUL BOWN
These books are a series of chapters
telling and recreating separate stories about railway life... this is a semi-transcript of
"oral history" that may have been lost except for this effort. I felt as if I
was there in space and time.
TOM KELCEC
If you are a fan of CNR operations in
the days of steam you will want to acquire this work.
PAUL BOWN
An entertaining and informative read,
and a wonderful photographic essay about 1950s railroading.
